Benefits of technology

[0014] Another feature of the present invention is that it can allow a vehicle to run without the use of carbon-based fuels, thereby decreasing the pollution emitted from the

Problems solved by technology

Over the past century, air pollution has become an ever-increasing problem, especially in the area around and in large cities.
The greenhouse gases and other poisons that are created by gasoline-driven and other fossil fuel-powered vehicles pose a serious threat to the life expectancy of humans, other living inhabitants of the Earth, and even the Earth itself.
The availability and cost of fossil fuels is in constant flux.
Further, although gasoline stations are relatively ubiquitous, especially in the United States, there still are locations where gasoline is not available, including in the air for flying vehicles and on b

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Illustrative embodiments of the power system and its components and placement on an example vehicle according to the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1 through 15. Although vehicle 40 as shown in the figures is an automobile, watercraft or train, it is understood that power system 10 may be used or installed on any vehicle, including trucks, trailers, aircraft and the like. Further, while power system 10 primarily is shown to be on the top or roof of vehicle 40, it is understood that power system, or various components thereof such as fan units 14 can be on the sides of vehicle 40. While the invention is described herein in conjunction with the exemplary and preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] Referring now to FIG. 1, a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention is shown installed on a landcraft. Vehicle 40 has a conventional electrically powered, a hybrid electrically / gasoline powered, or ot...

Abstract

A power system for powering a vehicle having an airflow or waterflow channeling device mounted on the vehicle, a laterally mounted fan unit, and an electric alternator connected to the fan unit, in which airflow or waterflow spins the laterally mounted fan thus generating electricity via the electric alternator to power the vehicle.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The present invention generally is related to devices for powering vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, boats, trains, airplanes or other vehicles, and more particularly is related to device for using air or water current to power a vehicle and produce vehicle movement through the use of fan blades, turbine blades, squirrel cage fans and the like attached to an electric alternator for producing electricity to power an electric motor for powering the vehicle. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] Over the past century, air pollution has become an ever-increasing problem, especially in the area around and in large cities. The greenhouse gases and other poisons that are created by gasoline-driven and other fossil fuel-powered vehicles pose a serious threat to the life expectancy of humans, other living inhabitants of the Earth, and even the Earth itself. The automobile and other vehicles are considered major factors in creating this pr...
